...probably the top solo artist in the field, attacks the occult in his album Upon This Rock: "Forget your hexagram/ You'll soon feel fine/ Stop looking at the stars/ You don't live under the signs."

...group supported for a time by Frank Zappa released an album not long after the Rolling Stone articles. The song titles have to stand as a high point of the sexual exploitation of rock. "Lanoola Goes Limp" (a term originally used by Paul Revere and the Raiders), "Seven Foot Drummer from Fleetwood Mac," and "Welcome Hampton Wicks" (from the Who's first U.
